The Loeb welcomes poet and artist Cecilia Vicu\u00f1a, who has been honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Venice Biennale and has had solo exhibitions at the Tate Modern, the Guggenheim, and others. Her visionary work blurs boundaries between text, sound, and art, while addressing urgent topics like human rights and ecological destruction. Vicu\u00f1a has lived in exile from her native Chile since the country\u2019s military coup in the early 1970s. Her short film, \u00bfQu\u00e9 es para usted la poes\u00eda? \/ What is Poetry to You?, is a highlight of the Loeb\u2019s current exhibition, Chronostasia: Select Acquisitions 2020\u20132025, which closes February 1.<\/p>\n
Vicu\u00f1a will introduce her work, followed by a conversation with curator Alyx Raz and Lisa Paravisini-Gebert, Professor of Caribbean and Latin American literatures and cultures in the Department of Hispanic Studies.<\/p>\n
As part of our Late Night at the Loeb series, the galleries will remain open until 9pm.<\/p>\n
This event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
